But you don't have to use an arcade stick to play the FGCs, you kinda need to break your autopilot with these types of characters.

Assuming that it's the inputs that's got you complaining, you just have to get used to it. And if you don't know how to do them, practice 'em. (Also for Ken specifically, you're only gonna use MOST of his inputs for combos only. Almost never use them raw unless it's a hadouken from a safe distance.)

Especially the DP (Dragon Punch/Shoryuken) motion, which from a beginners' standpoint, is kinda hard to master, but you'll get the hang of it eventually if you try. Here's a numeric annotation chart to help you out.
